You've soaked your barrel with solvent and you've brushed it. Now you need to get the mess out..........
What I do is wad up a Kleenex so that it is a TIGHT fit going into the CHAMBER (one and a half tissues for 12 ga, experiment to find ideal fit). I then place my cleaning rod in the middle of the Kleenex and push it through. This will leave your bore sqeaky clean!
My routine: Spray Hoppes #9 in barrel throughly coating inside (I use a WD-40 pump sprayer). Let it sit while you clean the rest of the gun; you want the solvent to do the work so give it time (@ 15 min, more is better). Push the Kleenex through the bore. This will get 90% of the plastic and powder fouling. Spray bore with Hoppes again and brush (I use a 10 ga brush for the 12 as it gets the chamber also). Push another Kleenex though bore, this gets the rest (normal cases). If I'm going to be shooting the same gun next weekend I'm done. If I'm going to store the gun I spray the bore with Rem- Oil followed by the Kleenex.
This is the simplest, most effective, way I've found. Try it, you'll LIKE it!
